STEUBENVILLE, Ohio —






A Jefferson County school will represent a success story on NBC's "Education Nation," the network's initiative to engage the country in the state of education in the U.S.

The profile on Wells Academy in Steubenville will focus on the school's Success For All program.

"It's a reading and math program. We have 90 minutes of reading a day and 75 minutes of math a day. But it's a real intensive program for our kids," said Principal Joe Nocera.

Nocera said he received notification a few weeks ago that Education Nation wanted to spotlight the school, and NBC crews were there on Tuesday to film students in grades K-4 doing their daily classroom work.

The Success For All Foundation contacted NBC, saying Wells Academy would be a good representation of a school that's seen success.

Nocera said Wells Academy will likely appear on a segment of the NBC program in the beginning of September, which will be aired on WTOV9.
